Hi Ian, can we push multiboot v2 support for Xen/ARM still into 4.3? It looks like it can coexists with zImage in the same binary - the multiboot structure can be put just behind the zImage header and the code can determine how it has been started: zImage bootloaders clears r0, multiboot one''s would set r0 to the MB magic. I will sketch a patch tomorrow, just wondering if we can have

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

From: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> If a loaded kernel is in ELF format and contains a multiboot header indicating valid relocation information, prefer the informations from the ELF header. This is in violation of the Multiboot spec, but it's the way GRUB does things and Solaris kernels rely on this behaviour. Signed-of-by: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf at skytale.net> --- diff

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

I used to use multiple syslinux floppy images to implement what I call CD-ROM-multiboot (EL Torito supports up to 64 bootable images, Award BIOS 8 images, if not wrey old). Now that floppies are getting too small, I find that I must find a workaround for hard coded isolinux directory name in isolinux. Not a big deal, but there might be also others who would like to have multiboot feature. --

On some machines, the location at 0x40e does not point to the beginning of the EBDA. Rather, it points to the beginning of the BIOS-reserved area of the EBDA, while the option ROMs place their data below that segment. For this reason, 0x413 is actually a better source than 0x40e to get the location of the real-mode trampoline. But it is even better to fetch the information from the multiboot

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

The program segments loaded presently in mboot.c only consists of a subset of sections described by the ELF Section Header Table (SHT) in the ELF kernel binary. Segments with useful information often needed for debugging purposes (symbol tables, string tables, etc.) aren't usually present in the program segments and hence not loaded above. Some kernels use this debugging information to

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hello Xen folks, I use Debian Squeeze. I want to passthrough PCI devices. With the old stable Debian (grub legacy) i did not have problems. I edit /etc/default/grub like: quote: GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="quiet xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.2)(01:05.1)" I run "update-grub". Now i look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen

Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Hallo, I am currently installing XEN on an ARM64 EFI machine. (Debian Testing), Therefore, I installed the following packages: __________________________________________________________________ root at armbox:/etc# dpkg -l "xen*" | awk '/^ii/ {print $2 "\t\t" $3}' xen-hypervisor-4.6-arm64 4.6.0-1+nmu2 xenstore-utils 4.6.0-1+nmu2 root at

Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a

If you have a multiboot kernel which is booted by syslinux/pxelinux/isolinux, etc., is there a way to determine who actually is the bootloader among the three? I'm wondering if the multiboot header or any part of memory has a consistent identifier somewhere. thanks, Ram

can anyone help me? i've pretty much mastered making multiboot floppy image cd's. what i really need now is a way to choose between multiple cd iso images. for instance. i want to burn a dvd or cd that will give me a menu of iso images that i can run. so if i want to choose between knoppix, smoothwall, netbox, partition magic, etc., i should be able to. only prob is that i can't figure

Hi. Is it possible to integrate multiboot support, which was described by the nilo-project? I think grub support multiboot too. The reason for this feature request is, that it would be much easier to configure some modules to be loaded by pxelinux, than compiling a new full featured kernel. Also, if there are many different hosts, we would not need many different kernels (or one

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

I have client running windows 2000 which is part of a domain with a samba (2.2.3a) server running as PDC. Authentication works fine. On the _same_ client I have added a partition that boots into Win XP, it has the same machine name. However I cannot get it to join the domain. I can use the administrator account to look at objects on the pdc, but when I try to create a user account I get a
